Re: Challenge: Build a Color-Coded Log Viewer for Phix/Euphoria (Inspired by chat.exw)

... confident that trying to do some gui stuff in the dll and some outside the dll will pretty soon make you wish you had never been born.
Actually, I think you're right. But, the logger can be a dll. It would have the TCP/IP functionality needed. But, honestly that could be done in Euphoria too... either way.
As for the viewer. I think it might be enough to stack labels on a scrollable window. Instead of using a text area of some kind stack labels. Doing it this way might give someone control over background color per message. (Could it work? IDK. Maybe?)
If I write it, I'm using Lazarus and FreePascal. The exe speed and GUI is just too good to ignore. The entire program would be a single dll with just a few hooks for init start and stop. Where init exposes port to bind to and maybe few other little bits. Maybe an option to write to a file? And I'd try the stacking labels thing. Or.... Maybe HTML? I'll see if there's a widget for that.
